Value-Based Kidney Care
A revolutionary approach to kidney care that focuses on outcomes that matter to you, not just the services provided.
What is Value-Based Kidney Care?
Value-Based Kidney Care (VBKC) is a healthcare model that shifts the focus from the volume of services provided to the quality of outcomes achieved. Instead of being rewarded for how many tests or procedures are performed, healthcare providers are incentivized to keep you healthy and improve your quality of life.
For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), this means receiving comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses not just your kidney health, but your overall well-being. Our team works together to prevent disease progression, reduce hospitalizations, and help you live your best life.
The Nephrology Group has been a pioneer in value-based kidney care, participating in programs like the Comprehensive Kidney Care Contracting (CKCC) model, which has demonstrated significant improvements in patient outcomes.
Our Goal
